| Obverse description | Bare head of Clodius Macer facing right, rendered in a somewhat crude provincial style characteristic of the Carthaginian mint during the Year of the Four Emperors. The portrait is encircled by a Latin legend reading L CLODI MACRI S C, the S C likely denoting senatorial authorization or a reference to the issuing authority. The flan is irregular and the die work reflects the hasty military context of production. The field surface is worn and pitted, with the portrait relief partially flattened. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Libertas or a legionary aquila standard flanked by two military signa, rendered in a schematic and bold style consistent with emergency military coinage. A dotted border frames the design. The reverse legend LIB AVG LEG III appears in the field, referencing Legio III Augusta, the prestigious North African legion that Clodius Macer commanded and invoked to legitimize his revolt against Nero in AD 68. The composition is symmetrically arranged around the central standard motif, with additional legionary emblems visible to either side. |
